This was so fun....
This was so fun. Francisco was a great tour guide. He was very informative and knew all the tricks to getting us to the right places at the right time. This also took the stress out of having to figure out the logistics of getting up the mountain to the palace and castle. Enjoyable experience all around.

Our guides Danilo and...
Our guides Danilo and Miguel were both wonderful! We were a large group which included very young children and seniors, and our guides were able to meet all of our needs. They helped us move at a good pace and teach us all about Sintra and the palaces and accomodated the needs of the different members of our large group. They were knowledgeable and personable!

Our driver Dani was amazing! We had a well-paced experience at both the Castle and the Palace plus a bit of walking about town to understand more Sintra and its history. From our pickup in Lisboa throughout the whole trip our conversation was insightful, friendly and welcoming.

Sintra- Pena and Moorish castle
Our guide, Danilo, gave us a first class tour. Providing us a personal experience that you just can’t get with basic tours. Also took us to a great local lunch place in Sintra.

Diogo is the best!
Diogo was amazing. He was so detailed in his description of everything. The trip was very well planned and we saw everything we wanted to see in Sintra. I highly recommend booking this trip. For just a few extra Euros per person we were able to take a private tour instead of joining a big group.

Moorish castle and Pena visit
Moorish walk is a bit of hike. Pena palace can get crowded quick I would bring snacks or food in case cafe is closed in our case very crowded at Pena with poor selection. Guides were amazing we had Jorge and Diego and they accommodated our large multi generational group with kids. Highly recommend without a guide it would have been hour or more wait to get into Pena
